A pretty good pro-gun argument

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in
theater in Iraq during the last 22 months, that gives a firearm death
rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in DC is 80.6 per 100,000. This means
that you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol,
which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than
you are in Iraq.

Been around a while that one but - it does make a point! Sadly tho in the sand box it ain't just guns the boys are facing - have to add in the lunatic fringe with suicide bombs, and the ubiquitous but ever lethal RPG's.
